ing last night.
l. G. Haas was elected President, and
Samuel Herman, George l.. Cope, Jr., j.
j. Sullivan and F. A. Elnstein, directors.
The hackers of the movement some
DAYS ago determined not to organize until
ITO shares were subscribed, and if this
amount was not raised by last night to
let the ASSOCIATION go by the board.
YET TO BE SUBSCRIBED.
/ At the meeting part Of the amount re-
naming unsubscribed was pledged,
bringing the subscriptions up to few
more than ninety shares, ard leaving
fifteen shares yet to be obtained. Quite
number OF gentlemen who have said
that they will aid the enterprise and who
were expected to be present were not
there. In view OF the fact that 50 near
the amount asked for has been obtained,
it was decided to organize and get the as
ISOLATION in shape, trusting to the lib
erality OF the public to subscribe the few
remaining shares.
NO TIME TO BE LOST.
1t was necessary to do something at
once if anything is to be done at all. The

Nashville by Monday, and unless some
definite steps were taken the league
franchise would be lost. The canvassing
committee will call upon those who have
not already subscribed to-day and to-mor-
row, and it is hoped that by tomorrow
night, when an adjourned meeting will be
held, the 10 shares will have been OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Ii. S. johnson will call upon
those who have subscribed to-day for
their subscriptions, as it is necessary that
the tull amount of the first installment be
paid in at once, ia order to cover the
guarantee.
TO SIGN MANAGER.
There is no longer any doubt as to Sa-
vannah's being IL the league next season.
The directors will organize today. The
next move will be to secure a manager,
which will be done at once. There is
some talk OF Charley Morton, who man.
aged last years team during the early
part OF the season. He is at bis home In
Akron, o., and is understood ito zoe anx-
lous TO come. Now that it is settled that
Savannah will have club the directors
say that they will have one composed of
crack players.
LIVE CLUB.
There will be no hanging back aud

who will play ball. Last years expert
ence was valuable one, and the new
association proposes to profit by it. There
is no time now to be lost IN getting the
team together. New Orleans has signed
several players and is adding to Its list.
Charleston has her team complete, and
Memphis is ready for the race. Macon
has yet done nothing, and Chattanooga
las been remaining quiet, but Will be in
when the time comes.
NAsHvILLE'S PUSH.
Nashville Is actively at work, and has
just signed "Fog Horn'' Bradley, one of
the best-known base bali men in the
country, as manager. So far Atlanta has
made no attempt to raise money and no
steps have been taken toward arranging
a club, and the chances are that she Will
not be represented on the Southern
League field. Mobile and Birming CHAM are
both anxious to come in, thous b, aud are
ready TO take the first place that becomes
vacant. There Is every prospect OF a
brilliant base ball season in the South.
